Unsolicited Grant Traffic Profile Configuration Parameters

Parameter
Description
Request Transmission Policy
The interval usage code that the cable modem uses for upstream transmission requests and packet transmissions for this service flow. It also specifies whether requests can be piggybacked with data.
Unsolicited Grant Size (bytes)
The size, in bytes, of the individual data grants provided to the service flow.
Grants Per Interval
The actual number of data grants given to the service flow during each nominal grant interval.
Nominal Grant Interval
The nominal interval between successive unsolicited data grant opportunities for this service flow.
Tolerated Grant Jitter (microsec)
The maximum amount of time, in microseconds, that the transmission opportunities can be delayed beyond the nominal grant interval.
Upstream Peak Traffic Rate
A four-byte unsigned integer field that specifies the peak traffic rate, in bits per second, that is allowed for a service flow. The range is 0 – 4,294,967,295 bps (4 Gbps–1).
Required Attribute Mask
A 32-bit mask that specifies whether certain attributes are required in a service flow.
Forbidden Attribute Mask
A 32-bit mask that specifies whether certain attributes are forbidden in a service flow.
Attribute Aggregation Rule Mask
A 32-bit mask that controls whether groups of attributes are either required or forbidden in a service flow.
Minimum Buffer
The lower limit for the size, in bits, of the buffer to be provided for a service flow. The range is 0 – 4,294,967,295 bits (4 Gb–1). The default is a value of 0, which indicates that there is no lower limit.
Target Buffer
The value for the size, in bits, of the buffer to be provided for a service flow. The range is 0 – 4,294,967,295 bits (4 Gb–1). If the parameter is omitted or set to a value of 0, then the device selects any buffer size within the range of the minimum and maximum buffers, using a vendor-specific algorithm.
Maximum Buffer
The upper limit for the size of the buffer to be provided for a service flow. The range is 0 – 4,294,967,295 bits (4 Gb–1). The default is no limit.
